Abstract

This study examined the effect of a harness resisting leg movement on sprinting and jumping performance. Split times for 10, 20, 36.58 and 50 meters, kinematics of hip and knee angles during sprinting, forces of maximum countermovement jumps and dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) were measured prior and following five-weeks of training with the resistance device. Results showed significant improvement in 10 m sprint times and knee extension during sprinting following five-weeks training (p
